The American Revolution

The American Revolution, a new 6-part, 12 hour documentary from Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein, and David Schmidt examines how America’s founding turned the world upside-down. Thirteen British colonies on the Atlantic Coast rose in rebellion, won their independence, and established a new form of government that radically reshaped the continent and inspired centuries of democratic movements around the globe.

Premieres Sunday, November 16 at 8:00 p.m. on WPSU-TV and on the PBS app.
